Interstate 5 southbound through Tacoma will close tonight

Just to be clear, here’s what’s going to happen: If you drive southbound on I-5 past the Tacoma Dome, you’ll come upon the three-lane off-ramp that carries traffic onto westbound Highway 16 at the Nalley Valley Viaduct. Actually, the two far right lanes carry traffic across the viaduct. The third lane (the far left one) is a collector-distributor that takes you either to the 38th Street off-ramp (and toward the Tacoma Mall or other stores there) OR, if you stay in the collector-distributor lane, it will take you past the 38th Street interchange and you can get back onto the southbound I-5 mainline.
